What size socket needed to turn CAM after install?
I'm trying to check preload on my lifters so will need to turn the CAM to zero for each lifter. However, I tried all my sockets and none fit. I need to go buy one but would like to know the correct size to buy.
Thanks very much

The bolt I was looking to turn was the harmonic damper bolt which is now an aftermarket ARP bolt, 12 point, 1 and 1/16th inch socket. Is that the right bolt I should be turning?

The good news is that both heads are back on after replacing the lifters. I'm just, hopefully, verifying that the provided pushrods are the right length and then I can put everything back together again. The use of aftermarket bolts for my build is a good thing but complicated things for me as I didn't have a 12 point socket set and I have to go get an 1 and 1/16th inch 12 point socket in order to turn the cam. Not.a big deal but, these things just add road blocks when I just want to get my car back together.
